About this fabric

The visible weave combines muted olive, moss and warm cream tones, with the pale threads creating gentle flashes across the darker green ground. Small, closely packed yarns form a nubby surface, while uneven horizontal lines add depth without creating a sharply geometric stripe. This colourway reads earthy and subdued rather than bright, with the olive shade becoming deeper where the woven bands gather. The catalogue identifies it as a fabric; no composition or performance features are supplied.

How to use it

Use Pachisi Olive on relaxed upholstery where its mossy green and warm cream tones can sit alongside natural timber, aged leather and softly chalky neutrals. Its horizontal texture would also add quiet movement to a simple bench, headboard or occasional chair.

A tactile olive-and-cream woven texture for relaxed upholstery schemes.

Pachisi Olive is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
